Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[ToffeeDan]

We all know Palace are winning anyway then being absolute pony in the final

Here's hoping Palace get into Europe but Mike Dean (or whoever they appoint if he's done the gig) will see the RS over the line.

Of course only one team playing in today's semi took a physical battering midweek. The other one had a home tie against relatively compliant opponents (though Benfica gave it a right good go with the tie pretty much lost) who certainly didn't come to play nasty.

I've ignored football all day and enjoyed some time in the garden. Seems I made the better choice.

....and still winning.

Golden goal in the uefa cup final v Alves and got outclassed by Arsenal in fa cup final before, England's Welsh golden boy came to the rescue.

Treble is a treble. What I'd give for us to win ANYTHING.

They must have been to about 20 finals in all comps since 1995, its heartbreaking the gulf in this city now.

Don't be worrying about those rats folks. We've already seen the mutants win everything these last few years. Its water off a ducks back now to me at this point. Obviously I'd prefer them to get beat every week but my days about worrying what they do are over. Its all about us staying up and giving Lampard the time to build something so we have a chance of achieving somthing like success again.

They are just the devils club aren’t they. Never seen a team get so much luck with either decision by officials or idiotic players handing it to them on plate. Surely at some point in the future the devil will be looking to collect and their luck with run out.

In fairness, I thought city had more of the decisions today. They were the better team, but only because city were destroyed after Wednesday.

Here’s to Palace winning their next two fa cup matches!

In my opinion, RS made City look rubbish, 1st half. There were mitigating factors, (arent there always?), but RS played very well.

They played well mate, but City helped them do that. It was like watching us at times. City were slow on the ball, passing sideways and backwards all the time, their movement up front was none existent. Sterling, Foden and Grealish were awful.

I listened to the 5Live’s half time commentary and they pretty much slated City’s setup, play and effort. The RS played well, but City facilitated it.

Exactly. And the gap is increasing quicker than it ever has in our histories.

Im not a fan of this tbh. Makes us look a bit bitter. They were fantastic in the first half. As good as you’ll see a team play against a top side. City were tired and missing big names but they didn’t give them an inch.

But, it’s just a semi final. They’ve won nothing but a game. Palace and Chelsea will rather face them than city in a final.

It's 26 finals in all competitions since we won the FA Cup.

Yikes

Just checked to clarify, since 1996 these are their finals

FA Cup - 96, 01, 06, 12, 22
League Cup - 01, 03, 05, 12, 16, 22
Champions League - 05, 07, 18, 19
UEFA Cup/Europa League - 01, 16
World Club Cup - 05, 19

Community Shields and UEFA Super Cups don’t count as they are just single games

Had a huge chance us.

2012 semi final, went in favourites. Since then, we’ve made zero finals. They’ve made 7 Finals, won a league and became one of the best sides on the world.

It’s doable, but we lost it all.
